Into the second half of 2006

Month of July is here. A flip of my calendar page. I am nearer to end of the year.

Some reflections on the first half of the year: Was not as productive at work compared to six months earlier. Rather high sick counts recorded during the starting months of the year but nothing major so far, fortunately. Have slacked down a lot on exercising, irregular sleep due to some family stress and of course world cup. No signs of extreme luck in the past six months but it does not seem to be better than average either.

Have worked my way through the savings as planned but I believe I can do better. Gained higher self-awareness and control over near future. Managed to spend more time on reading and droved my way to a license. Picked up daily bread and absorbed some of the bible writings. Interacted with a few christians, believed and understood more on their faith and inner peace.

The approach to the second half of the year: Settle for the actual plan for near future. Upgrade my knowledge to aid the reach of goal. Open up thoughts, know more friends. Most importantly, maintain the health and prepare the body for the battle ahead.

Second half of the year has always appeal to me more with the year end holidays, cooler climate as well as a possible bonus pay. The past month's rain and shine has been inconsistent compared to previous years. More cooler days and good-for-snuggles rainy nights ahead, I hope.

But just as we are entering July, World Cup is reaching an end. Too soon for us to realise, we just counted down to the opening match, ya? I guess so.
